Current family policy approaches emphasize the significance of paternal involvement in children's lives, yet there has been a silence on violent and abusive fathering in these discourses. This book specifically focuses on violent fathering, discussing original research in the context of domestic violence. It examines fathers' perceptions of their domestic violence and its impact on children, their relationships with children, and their parenting practices. It also looks at abused mothers' perceptions of their ex-partners' parenting. The book recommends ways that policy and practice can be improved in order to safeguard children in family law and child protection practice through a better understanding of the risks posed and appropriate assessment of violent fathers as parents. This study will be of considerable value to all professionals working in this area.
